Good news!

New York University -- specifically Professor Justin Cappos -- and I
have successfully asked the US National Science Foundation for a grant
to improve Python packaging security. The NSF is awarding NYU $800,000
over two years -- from mid-2021 to mid-2023 -- to further improve the
pip dependency resolver and to integrate The Update Framework further
into the packaging toolchain.

For what we're planning to do, what this means in the short term, an
explanation of why NYU and the NSF are involved, and thank-yous, please
see https://discuss.python.org/t/new-packaging-security-funding-nyu/7792 .
